My friends,
E7#9 A7
Feel it's their appointed duty.
E7#9 A7
They keep trying to tell me;
E7#9 A7
All you want to do is use me.
E7#9 A7
But my answer,
E7#9 A7
Yeah, to all that use me stuff,
Bridge 1:
E7#9 (n.c)
Is; I wanna spread the news,
That if it feels this good getting used,
Oh, you just keep on using me, until you use me up,

Until you use me up.

Verse 2:
E7#9 A7
My brother,
E7#9 A7
Sit me right down, and he talked to me.
E7#9 A7
He told me;
E7#9 A7
That I ought not to let you just walk on me.
E7#9 A7
And I'm sure he meant well,
E7#9 A7
Yeah, but when our talk was through;
Bridge 2:
E7#9 (n.c)
I said; brother, if you only knew,
You'd wish that you were in my shoes.
You just keep on using me, until you use me up,
E7#9 A7, E7#9 A7
Until you use me up.

Verse 3:
E7#9 A7
Oh, sometimes, yeah,
E7#9 A7
It's true; you really do a-buse me.
E7#9 A7
You get me in a crowd of high class people,
E7#9 A7
And then you act real rude to me.
E7#9 A7
But, oh baby, baby, ba-by,
E7#9 A7
Baby, when you love me, I can't get e-nough.
Bridge 3:
E7#9 (n.c)
I wanna spread the news,
That if it feels this good getting used,
Oh, you just keep on using me, until you use me up,
E7#9 A7, E7#9 A7
Until you use me up.
